2007 Toyota Tundra DC 5. 7l limited. I was driving on the freeway and I went to pass another vehicle when I got into the next lane and another car changed lanes in front of me and I was forced to slam the brakes. The abs system engaged and slowed vehicle down , but the truck felt like it was being pushed forward. . . By this time I had enough room in front of me, so I let off the brakes and the truck jumped like I was holding my foot on the gas. I almost hit the car in front of me again. I slammed on the y brakes again and the abs system kicked in, and the truck was still trying to accelerate, but I held the brake hard enough that I didn't hit the car in front of me. At this point I had to do something. I stuck the truck in neutral and tried to get to the side of the freeway. When I got stopped I had 3 lights on . , brake, vsc, and a picture of a car with 2 crooked lines on it. I believed it was traction control. By now the truck was normal again but the lights were on so I took the truck straight to the dealer .

The throttle position sensor malfunctioned on my 2000 Toyota Tundra. When I took it in to be fixed the part took two weeks to come in because it was on national back order.
